I read it :)

I think it is quite intuitive, I would like other features (an option to add an image as a layer and been able to align it for example) but that's another story.

I like to walk but it would have take me years to map all this by feet. My city is essentially a hills city (most of the neighbourhoods around the downtown are hills). Also my GPS unit works way much better driving my car than walking with it in my pocket (I don't know why but it gets quite inaccurate when you are moving slowly).

The lack of aerial images is not excuse for not mapping an area. There are not good images for my city (Viña del Mar, Chile and all the surrounding area), but I decided to start mapping it a couple of months ago.

I try to drive at least a couple of hours a couple of nights a week, and even though I have spent less than 100 pounds in gas during this period of time, I already have mapped most of the central area of my city, and some areas of the other cities that are part of this metropolitan city (Gran Valparaiso).

I know that the only way to make it grow faster is to get more people to work, so I decided to work in a Chilean (in spanish) website for OpenStreeMap to encourage other people to participate in the project (As far as I know, there are only three or four people working actively in the project in my country) probably I will release this website before the end of the month.

About the satnav question you should check Navit (http://www.navit-project.org/) or Roadnav (http://roadnav.sourceforge.net/).

As far as I know the street numbers can not be included yet (is a feature that will require a lot of work on our user side, and that probably will be developed in the future).

I am using a Java based application with my BlackBerry (8100 Pearl + external GPS via Bluetooth), It is called bbtracker (http://www.bbtracker.org/), and I am not sure if it will work a Windows mobile device. Take a look at it to see if you can install it, if it doesn't work probably you will be able to find some software that works the same way.

Cheers

Richard,

Your recommendation message is there. That's a fast use of the users feedback :)

If your upload more than 5 files, the message recommends you to consider waiting till those are processed before uploading more. It is just a recommendation.

Thank you Richard. I did not noticed before that the Edit options was active as soon as you upload a trace (Quite strange I must say).

I agree with you about the message. But a weight measure will help too. How "heavy" can a reasonable file be? 1MB? 2MB? I think that people that want to work in other scales (like this guy from Romania) should use JOSM (I haven't learn to use it yet).

But we are still with a 12 hour lag and the Mapnik render for this week already processed :(
